MANASSAS, Va. (WUSA9) -- Last week, a truck was reported stolen from the Manassas Public Auto Auction. Police say they found their suspect driving the same truck during a traffic stop.

Police report that an employee told them the company's 1995 red Ford Ranger was stolen from their lot on Mathis Avenue on June 4 sometime after midnight.

Police say a surveillance camera captured footage of a man wearing a dark colored t-shirt, jeans and white shoes enter vehicles on the property before leaving in the truck. The truck was heading northbound on Mathis Avenue, say police.

On June 8 at approximately 2:45 a.m., a police officer stopped the truck for a traffic offense. Police say 50-year-old Andrew Hembry, Jr. was arrested and charged with Possession of a Stolen Automobile and License Plate, Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of a Controlled Substance.

(WUSA9) -- If you drive I-66 Northern Virginia, you are well-acquainted with gridlock.

But congestion and safety could improve on I-66 and elsewhere, thanks to new connected vehicle technology, Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell cut the ribbon for a new research "test bed" along a four square mile area on I-66 from the Beltway to Nutley and on parallel Routes 50 and 29.

The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute has installed 45 radio devices in the test bed.

The white devices with antennae will send V-Dot information about works zones, slow traffic, etc., to vehicles equipped with connected vehicle technology.

Similar to how navigation systems evolved from, only on devices to installed in your car and smart phone, so too will it be for connected vehicle technology, according to Tom Dingus, the Director of the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute.
